Angeles City, the Philippines, is one of Asia’s top sex tourism destinations. Men all over the world flock to this place where sex is cheap. What tourists do not see is the reality behind these glitzy bars. This film takes us inside this hidden reality through two women: Amy, a former sex worker, and Tisay, Amy’s teen daughter from a German customer. We follow their separate daily lives as they make small everyday choices to improve their conditions – from their work to their relationships – while remaining close to the Red Light District.
In the presence of the director (to be confirmed).
